Changing The Oil; Air Filter Maintenance - Cub Cadet CC5090 Manuel De L'utilisateur

CHANGING THE OIL

For a new engine, change the oil after the first 10 hours of
operation. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will
flow freely and carry away more impurities.
1. Unplug spark plug boot to prevent accidental starting.
WARNING:
Wear gloves to prevent injury when
handling unit.
2. Remove the oil fill plug.
3. Pour the oil out of the
oil fill hole and into a
container by tipping the
unit to a vertical
position (Fig. 42). Allow
ample time for
complete drainage.
4. Wipe up any oil residue
on the unit and clean
up any oil that may
have spilled. Dispose of
the oil according to
Federal, State and local
regulations.
5. Refill the crankcase
with 3.04 fluid ounce
(90 ml) of SAE 30 SF, SG, SH oil.
NOTE: Use the bottle and spout saved from initial use to measure
the correct amount of oil. The top of the label on the bottle
measures approximately 3.04 ounces (90 ml) (Fig. 43). Check
the level, See Checking the Oil Level. If the level is low, add a
small amount of oil and recheck. Do not overfill (Fig. 43).
6. Replace the oil fill plug.
7. Reconnect the spark plug boot.
